Meet the voice behind some of your favorites

AudioFile Magazine was thrilled to catch up with narrator John Lane fresh off of his Audie Award win in the Erotica category for CLAIM & PROTECT by Rhenna Morgan. We know you’ll enjoy getting to know a bit more about him!

AudioFile Magazine: What was it like winning the Audie Award this year?

John Lane: Honestly, I was absolutely floored. It was a first Audie nomination and first win for me, for Harlequin Audio, and for the amazing producer Suzanne Mitchell who is just the most lovely person . . . it was really special to share that moment with all of them. The other narrators in the category were/are some of the absolute best in the business and even though I knew CLAIM & PROTECT was a really great title, there was no way any of us could have known it would end up where it did. I think when you try to do your 100% best on every single sentence of every single title, anything can happen. I was honored just to be nominated with that group but there was no way I expected to win. In fact, I think maybe the first thing I did after they called out the title at the Audies was turn to my good friend Neil Hellegers, who was sitting next to me, and say “no *gosh-darn* way!” (or, you know, something maybe a little less appropriate for print).

Tease: Celebrating our winners John Lane and Mary Jane Wells

Put on your formal wear and sparkling jewels for the announcement of this year’s Audies winners in the Erotica and Romance categories. Congratulations to the Audio Publishers Association for their tireless work to coordinate audiobooks, judges, publishers, narrators, and an awards gala that stays on time and still celebrates winners and nominees without seeming rushed! Lucky for Tease, we get to celebrate with two categories, two notable audiobooks, and two talented narrators.

Narrator John Lane

Narrator Mary Jane Wells

Now, no one likes a know-it-all (except for Hermione Granger!), and I take no personal credit for this, but it’s a truth universally acknowledged that our amazing romance review team here at AudioFile Magazine has been sharing our love for these two titles for months. Nope, we have no advance knowledge of the winners, but our reviewers know good audiobooks when we hear them, and so we’re especially pleased to once again share these titles, this time as Audie Award winners.

How well do you know this year’s best audiobooks?

Audiofile Magazine is proud to present its 2017 Best Romance Audiobook list. These fifteen audiobooks represent a snapshot of this year’s best listening. Many reviewers helped make this list possible — thanks to all of them for being wonderful listeners.
